If the Yu family was still waiting and watching before, now they are completely tied to Mu Yan's boat.
Since seeing Mu Yan's appeal at the South City Gate on New Year's Eve, Yu has become even more convinced that the land of Yunnan can only be handed over to Mu Yan, and it can only be Mu Yan.
The eldest wife, Mrs. Yao, took Huo Xi's hand and said angrily: "There is no need for a family to say such things. The Yu family is the son's maternal family, so naturally they will try their best to help him. If they don't help him, how can they help outsiders?" ?”
Helping Mu Yan means helping the Yu family. Now the Yu family, from top to bottom, has a clear understanding of the fact that they are tied to the same boat as Mu Yan.
"Yes. My eldest aunt, please forgive me, I said something wrong. My natal family is in the capital, and the eldest family only has my husband's branch. Now, thanks to the help of the Yu family, otherwise my husband and I would be alone."
Mrs. Yao patted her hand and said, "Don't worry, you and your wife are not alone. I am part of the Yu family. My natal family, the Yao family, has many old relatives by marriage. If necessary, I will go back to my natal family and let them know."
Originally Mrs. Yu married the late Marquis, and the Yu family relied on this shared tradition to do business in all states and counties in Yunnan. However, the good times did not last long. The late Marquis passed away early and the title fell to the second housemate, allowing the outsider Jun family to overtake the Yu family, a prominent local family. The Yu family had no choice but to temporarily withdraw their strength and retreat from the place where the Jun family could shoot.
It's just that I'm not willing to accept Jun's suppression.
Now that they saw that their cheap nephew was willing to support the Yu family, the three brothers of the Yu family discussed it and immediately seized the opportunity and tied them to Mu Yan's boat.
The second wife Mi and the fourth wife Pi on the side also nodded in agreement. If necessary, their natal families and in-laws are also willing to contribute.
Women with business registration are often matched with merchants, and nowadays they pay attention to being well-matched. The natal families of the Yu family, as well as the natal families of the younger daughters-in-law, are also merchants. Huo Xiruo teamed up with them to run against the Jun family, and the Jun family withdrew from Kunming City. , and even withdrawing from the entire territory of Yunnan is not impossible.
Pingzhao Wushi Tusi Mansion.
Uday saw his eldest son-in-law sitting crookedly on a chair with his chin propped up. He didn't respond to him several times. He frowned and asked, "Is your eldest son-in-law very tired from the journey?"
Seeing that Mu Zhan didn't respond, Wu Shi stabbed Mu Zhan. Mu Zhan came back to his senses and smiled at Udai: "Father-in-law, please forgive me. My son-in-law is distracted by something. What did my father-in-law just say?"
"Are you tired? Do you want to go to Wusu's boudoir to take a rest?"
Mu Zhan quickly shook his head and refused. His image as the eldest son of the Mu family still needs to be maintained. Pick up your energy and listen to what Uday and his wives and brothers are talking about.
But I can't help but think of Mu Yan standing on the city gate tower on New Year's Eve and shouting a hundred promises...
He was not much more noble than him, but he stood there like the king of Dian.
For the past two days, Mu Yan's appearance that night has been in my mind. Mu Zhan was very annoyed. He felt that he might have made a mistake in ignoring Mu Yan before.
Uday pointed at Mu Zhan: "That second brother of yours..."
Udai automatically blocked the title of Crown Prince. He was determined to marry his eldest daughter into Mu's house and become a marquis and princess. Now it's a mess.
Seeing Mu Zhan come over, he continued: "Your second brother made frequent moves a year ago. Not only did he ask the local health offices to continue to stockpile land, but he also encouraged the people everywhere to open up wasteland. He also said that land tax would be exempted for three years. Now the people are happy to enclose land. This They have all circled to Wushi's territory.”
Yunnan's border land was originally a place full of barbarians. Whichever family had more people and ability would enclose more land. In order to compete for land, various chieftains fought with weapons every month. The big toast eats the little toast, and the little toast eats the shrimp. This is the way of the world. This has been true for hundreds of years.
Their Wushi was originally oppressed by the big chieftains, but he was smart and sent his eldest daughter Wusu to Mu's house. Now Wushi is one of the top chieftains.
Relying on the Mu Mansion, the Wushi family lived a very comfortable life.
However, the prince made it clear to the states and counties years ago that the chieftain government could not seize the people's fields. Those who violated the rules would be severely punished, or they might be demoted or demoted.
At the same time, local government offices also weakened the power of the chieftain's government and helped redress the grievances of the untouchables. There were also lawyers who wrote petitions to illiterate untouchables, accusing the chieftains of oppressing the local people.
Uday was very dissatisfied.
This world is supposed to be a place where the weak eat the strong, which is in line with the world's conditions. Who is stronger has more power and status. But this prince decided to let those untouchables make the decision. Also, Pingzhao County, where Wushi is located, originally had no yamen and no official posts, but a new yamen was set up two years ago and sent official posts, saying that they wanted to coordinate with Wushi to govern.
This is not a dilution of his rights, what is Wuzhi's right? He, Udai, had done a good job as the prefect of Pingzhaotu, but now he was asked to listen to the local government officials?
Went to his.
“Why is it that once your second brother returns to Yunnan, you are nothing?”
How could Mu Zhan feel comfortable after hearing this? No one wants others to **** or **** on their head.
“Maybe he will be recalled to Beijing this year.”
A hostage who stayed in Beijing as a pledge came to quell the chaos. Now that the war in Yunnan has been calmed down, he still wants to stay in Yunnan? The emperor also refused.
"Liu Qi? Your grandmother and your brother have already stayed in Beijing, and he is not much more. And his only son also stayed in Beijing." Uday meant that Mu Yan might stay in Yunnan forever.
How could Uday be happy when he was used to being the lord of the land and now letting others dictate what he did?
Udai still made a clear distinction between whether to let the prince take charge of the Yunnan region or let his son-in-law Mu Zhan come.
It's a shame that dozens of killers were sent out years ago, but none of them could kill Mu Yan. That kid was so tough that he lost dozens of good players. He was so distressed that he couldn't help but twitch. Now if we want to send out so many good players, we won't be able to deploy them in a short time.
Uday couldn't help but feel sad.
Looking at Mu Zhan, he didn't intend to say anything more to him. Young people do not listen to the advice of the elderly. They always think that they are irreplaceable, underestimate the enemy, are careless, and are not ruthless enough in doing things, leaving big hidden dangers for themselves and those around them.
Then there is no need for him to negotiate with him.
In the first month, Mu Yan held many banquets, either outside or at home. People who wanted to make friends with Mu Yan, the crown prince, lined up in a long line to hand over notes, but Mu Yan also had his own selfish motives and would not miss any important occasions.
As the wife of the crown prince, Huo Xi had many people entertaining her. The couple never have a free day.
It wasn't until the nineteenth day of the first lunar month, the day before the Yamen opened for printing, that the couple had time.
"So lovely!"
Huo Xi stared at the two jade hairpins in the box, which were pure green and crystal clear. They were so green that people felt happy.
“The Wandong family's son and son-in-law's jade carving skills are quite good.”
Mu Yan was playing with one of them, a women's jade hairpin. The head of the hairpin was carved with a budding green lotus, and there were small water droplets condensed on the lotus leaf, which seemed to be about to fall, which was extremely expressive.
Putting it on Huo Xi's head, he looked at it again and again, his eyes full of doting.
“Does it look good?” Huo Xi shook his head.
Mu Yan nodded, with a smile on his face, and let Huo Xi put a men's jade hairpin in the shape of a bamboo knot on his head.
“It's beautiful.” Huo Xi also praised it, “The craftsmanship is incredible, it's even better than the jade craftsmen in the palace.”
After admiring it for a while, they thought of the huge piece of imperial green that was sent to Beiping City. The couple felt a little sad.
“Tell me, has that piece of jade been delivered to the emperor now?”
